Need advice on purchasing seeds

My friend is new to buying seeds on line and is very skeptical. Last week I attempted to assist him in purchasing them on line but it didn't work out. He is paranoid about having a paper trail so he took out cash from his bank account and had me buy one of those visa gift cards. However the largest amount that I could buy was $100. We had looked at a couple sites but the one he decided to go with didn't work with our method of payment. THis card is suposed to work as a credit card, but it declined our payment. ALso, we had 2 $100 visa's and there is no option to pay with two different credit cards so anything we bought had to total under $100, which is nearly immpossible (at least at the sites we were looking at). ---SO I guess my question is, how paranoid should he be? I figured I could just use my debit card but he's really paranoid. We also thought about money orders but I'm not sure if there are sites out there that take them.----Which brings me to my next issue...my friend found a site he wanted to order from but his other friend was hesitant and thought he should order from a more reputable site. We found a list in the back of a High Times magazine and tried to visit some of these sites. However, many of these didn't deliver to the U.S., some didn't even have online shopping available, and the prices were all over the board. Reading over the forums at this site, I now have a few suggestions for him of sites to visit. But, does anyone have any recommended sites to check out that would be reasonably easy to order from and reputable. Is it often that there are faulty sites out there that hvae intentions of ripping people off? Has anyone heard of MaryJane's Garden? Are there any things that one can look for in a web site (warnings or signs) to show that the website is bunk or knows their shit? Any advice would be greatly appreciated because this whole experience is becoming quite the headache. How careful does he actually have to be?

im in the same boat as u man .

https://www.rollitup.org/www.sanniesshop.com/sannies-seeds/http://www.sanniesshop.com This is who I use...very reliable, very stealth, very good prices and great customer service...I always use my own Visa in my name with my real address on it and have never had an issue at all.

Attitude also has good reviews but Sannies is one of the best as far as I'm concerned.

I've ordered with debit/credit card everytime....attitude & single seed centre is where I buy all mine...put rollitup in discount code on attitude for 10% off...both have stealthy shipping & on my statement it doesn't say CANNABIS SEEDS or anything like that...u can always mail money to those but id be more paranoid bout losing my hard earned $ than my freedom...from what I read even if customs finds em, they won't come lookn for u IMO ...hope this helps y'all

i order and pay with my visa / debit card all of the time no issues at all.. not like the seed banks says cannabis seeds in big red letters on your bank statement or w/e, they're pretty low key about that..
as far as what banks are legit and good to use, in no particular order are

the attitude
sensible seeds
dr greenthumbs
sannies seed shop.. great spot, cheap prices
irie vibe seedbank
canna collective
cannazon
single seed centre
herbies pick and mix, aka, herbies head shop
seur bidz
seed boutique
sow amazing seeds
growshop alien...
hemp depot
i know i'm forgetting a few more, but all of the places i've listed are legit, and all deliver to the us..

Thankyou all for all the info...it really helped!

I always use attitude seedbank.

Hey man... I am a first timer and was a bit paranoid about ordering online. I had a buddy that ordered from a place in Amsterdam and a place in Canada... he got both of his orders... one took about a month and one took about 3 months...he thought that one was dead and gone.
Anyway, I read all the reviews and went with Attitude. Ordered on Saturday... got my souvenirs 9 business days later - a regular credit card is no problem... billed through a thrid party... granted it was just one experience but it was top notch all the way - they sent me a tracking number for the "gift" I ordered so I could see where it was.... I really don't have any reason to shop anywhere else.
And from all the posts I've read... and I spend hours and hours and HOURS reading before I ordered to find out what I was getting into.. if stuff gets busted by customs they send a letter saying a parcel addressed to your address has been confiscated.... blah blah blah and that's it.
By the way, Attitude offers a "gaurantee" to re-ship if you don't receive you package.. just got to order the gaurantee which is the form of a t-shirt, mug, wallet, etc.

i just had an experience where attitude was declining my pre-paid visa. I went to nirvana and they accepted it.

I just placed my order so as for the delivery i am unsure.

hope this helps.

ive made a ton o orders with attitude, using a CC. and a good buddy of mine uses his debit card. both work and are fine. as RB71 hinted at, these companies are pretty good at what they do.

as far as banks, i use attitude, but i've heard great things about Sannies and Cannazon as well

you will get another card in the mail of your prepaid card. if u used that one, it will work.

You will be fine using prepaid.

I've order my stuff from kaya (seeds and equipements). It's a spanish growshop. If you live in Europe, you'll get it really fast. I've received my order in 18 hours, and they accept the payment on delivery method.

In my case, the delivery company didn't even ask for any identification and didn't even go to my home lol.
I've used a real name and address but i didn't have to. I called to the agency to tell the guy to go down my street. When he arrived he called me, i came down my street and gave him the money without any identification.

On the next orders i'm gonna do the same but without a real name

The attitude best i bought plenty just got grandady purp orig from there always made it
